Dear Deborah, I think it is the rest of our family who keep us going. I know that is true for me. I’m not sure I would be here if it wasn’t for my grandchildren but somehow we keep going, one foot in front of the other, for them and they are worth living for.
But the others who have kept me going are all of you on this site. You have all been the most amazing, selfless people. As the saying goes ‘every time I think of you I thank my God for you’. Bless you all

Dear Helen…These anniversaries that once we used to look so forward to, are now filled with dread and tears and we are thankful when the day is over. But what no one can ever take away from us ,is the love and the beautiful memories our children gave us in life.

Dear all,
I just wanted to say I haven’t been upto posting as I’m so stressed at the moment 
Mathew’s inquest starts tomorrow 18th to 26th, we are on our way to Oxford, I am in absolute turmoil, our daughters are staying home to look after the dog and I know they wouldn’t cope hearing how Matt suffered but they will come for the final day, Matt’s girlfriend is coming as she wants to hear it all, we are there in person but all witnesses will be remote due to covid restrictions, please pray for us to get through 
Am thinking of you all having these anniversaries 
and am loving all the pictures of your lovely children
Much love to all

Dearest Deborah
I have Scott’s photo everywhere, him and I at the Scotland v England game in my bedroom, him and his brother on the beach in Portugal in the bathroom, him and I in Amsterdam in my hall etc.
It means I see him and my memories come to me constantly as I walk about my flat.
Everyone is different but looking at them gives me joy that I had him and sadness that he has gone
I’m so glad you are able to look at your beautiful girl

Dear Michelle
I will be thinking about you going through this awful ordeal.
Your poor boy, how stressful for you having to hear all the details and the pain that will cause.
My heart breaks for you

Hi Deborah
I hope Georgia gives you comfort, seeing little mannerisms that Kathryn had that live on.
Again thank you for your words. I honestly related to every single word and as I said I’ve read them over and over.
Thinking of you
We are both getting closer to the anniversary we will both be dreading, Scott died on St Andrews day, my 54th birthday, 30th of November and I am not sure how I will cope

Dear Zoe, I’m very sorry you have lost your son to cancer. I feel your pain and hopelessness. It’s so cruel. So many friends on this site are here for you whenever you want to make contact.
I too lost my daughter to cancer aged 33. It’s difficult to carry on when everyone else is getting on with their lives.
Take care

Hello Zoe,
I too lost my son 34 to a brain tumour. The pain as you say is unbearable, all of us on this site have lost their child in some way or another but we are here for you. The pain will always be there I lost Sam on December 9th 2016 we had just over 4 years with him.
Please keep posting everyone of us is here for you.
With love
Helen
